When Qiao Yi woke up early in the morning, she picked up her phone to check the news as usual and found that she was trending on social media.

[Qiao Yi, the female lead in Wen Lixuan's new movie, was seen entering and leaving the house with a mysterious man, sparking rumors of a new romance!]

Below are several videos of her getting into a Rolls-Royce.

Zhan Jingting was not in the photo, but the license plate number was enlarged.

With a license plate like that, you can be either rich or noble without even thinking about it, not to mention that the car is a limited edition of only three in the world!

Qiao checked the time; the trending topic broke out around 11 p.m. last night, when she was already asleep.

After fermenting overnight, it had already surged to the top spot, followed by this dark red "Explosive" character.

She looked at the comments and saw that most of the netizens were criticizing her.

Qiao Yi hurriedly got up, washed up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.

Wen Lixuan was having breakfast in the restaurant when he saw Qiao Yi come in and greeted her, "Qiao Qiao, come and have breakfast."

"Don't you care about trending topics? You still have the mood to eat breakfast."

"You're a celebrity, so it's perfectly normal for you to trend on social media. You'll get used to it."

“But this is negative news,” Qiao Yi said worriedly. “What if it affects the movie? We must clarify it immediately.”

"You think Zhan Jingting doesn't want to be on the trending topics list, but it'll stay up all night?" Wen Lixuan calmly sipped his coffee. "Sit down and eat something; we have to get back to work soon."

Qiao sat down, ate a few bites absentmindedly, and then went to the film set.

To avoid suspicion, she and Wen Lixuan rarely went together; they always went in separate cars.

As soon as she arrived at the film set, reporters swarmed around her, surrounding her completely.

"Miss Qiao, could you tell me about the trending topics?"

"You leave in the same luxury car every day. Is the car owned by your boyfriend? Or is it something else?"

"Miss Qiao, are you single now?"

"......"

As Qiao Yi was thinking about how to break free from the encirclement, a voice suddenly came to her ear, "Get out of the way, anyone who dares to harass Miss Qiao again, we will send a lawyer's letter."

Jiang Dong walked over and escorted Qiao Yi inside.

When they reached the door of the changing room, Qiao Yi finally spoke, "Thank you."

"You are welcome."

"Regarding the trending topic, I was just about to discuss it with your boss. Taking it off the trending list should be a piece of cake for him, right?"

Jiang Dong nodded. "It was Master Zhan who guessed that there would be reporters surrounding us and asked me to come and help. If you have anything to say, you can go to Wutong Bay and discuss it with Master Zhan in person."

Qiao glanced at her watch and said, "I have a lot of scenes to film today, so I'll be finishing up quite late. I have a dinner party tonight, so I can only go with Shiyi after that."

"I will pass on the message to Master Zhan."

The trending topic continued to escalate, but no one paid any attention to it.

Seeing that Wen Lixuan was so calm, Qiao Yi didn't ask any more questions. After finishing work, she went to the villa according to the address he had given her.

Wen Ru opened the door, unusually dressed in simple home clothes instead of her usual work attire.

"Miss Qiao, you've arrived. Please come in."

"Thanks."

Qiao Yi changed her shoes and went inside. "Ms. Wen's house is very beautiful."

"You're Lixuan's girlfriend, so how about I take the liberty of asking you to call me 'Auntie'?"

Qiao Yi readily agreed, "Okay, Auntie."

"I've already bought the hot pot ingredients. Li Jing can only come after work, and Li Xuan won't be here that soon, will he?"

“He should be around the same time as Mr. Wen. Let’s get started. I’ll help you wash the vegetables.”

"good."

Qiao Yi followed her into the kitchen, helping to wash the vegetables while asking, "Auntie, aren't you lonely living here all by yourself? Why don't you move back to the Wen family home so you can all look after each other?"

“I’m used to being alone.” Wen Ru’s expression changed slightly. “And I want to live here. Do you know why?”

"Why?"

“My brother, Lixuan’s father, died here, in the restaurant outside.”

Qiao Yi was stunned, and subconsciously turned her head to look at the restaurant, shivering.

"Don't be afraid," Wen Ru smiled. "My brother is a good person. Even if there are ghosts here, they won't harm anyone."

Qiao Yi swallowed nervously and said, "Auntie, what you said is a bit creepy."

Wen Ru chuckled, "I was just kidding, there are no ghosts in this world."

"Hmm." Qiao Yi asked curiously, "Since Uncle Wen died here, this should be a place of sorrow for you, so why do you still live here?"

“Because I have to constantly remind myself that my brother died tragically, and as his sister, I must help him manage the Wen Group and take care of his children so that he can die in peace,” Wen Ru sighed. “This year has actually been very difficult. Only by staying here and thinking of my brother can I cheer myself up.”

"Aunt, you've had it so tough." Qiao Yi looked at her sadly. "I believe Li Xuan and the others don't want to see you suffer like this either."

“Both of them are good kids, so I’m willing to make such sacrifices for the Wen family.”

"Okay." Qiao finished washing the vegetables in her hands. "I'm going to the restroom."

"Over there."

"Um."

Qiao looked around and went to the bathroom, but came out quickly, observing the layout of the villa.

The corridor should be lined with guest rooms, with most master bedrooms located on the second floor.

She opened the door and looked inside, and sure enough, it was just as she had guessed.

She didn't continue walking; she quickly returned to the kitchen to continue washing vegetables.

About half an hour later, Wen Lijing arrived with Wen Xue, and Wen Lixuan followed shortly after, bringing several bottles of fine wine.

The group drank and ate, but perhaps because of the location, the atmosphere wasn't very pleasant.

“Why is everyone so lifeless?” Wen Lixuan raised his glass. “The truth about Dad’s death will come out one day. He wouldn’t want to see us like this in heaven. Come on, let’s cheer up.”

Wen Xue raised her juice glass and clinked it against his, "Brother, cheers!"

"good."

When Qiao Yi finished eating, while the others were still drinking, she said, "Auntie, your garden is beautiful. May I go for a walk?"

"sure."

"Then I'll go out for a walk."

When Qiao Yi arrived at the garden, the night view was indeed magnificent, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers, which was refreshing and delightful.

She quickly turned around and suddenly discovered a room in the corner.

Qiao walked over and found the door was locked.

She took a hair clip off her head, tried it, and it actually opened!

When Qiao opened the door and went inside, she found that it was a tool room, filled with various tools for tending to flowers and plants.

She looked around, found nothing amiss, and turned to leave.

Just as she reached the door, the girl suddenly stopped, her brow furrowing slightly.

She closed the door, turned on her phone's flashlight, and carefully searched inside.

After searching again, Qiao Yi squatted down and started tapping on the wooden floorboards one by one.

The wooden floor is solid, and we were almost finished knocking it down when the sound from the piece in front of us was clearly wrong!

It's hollow!

Qiao Yi picked up the tools beside her and pried open the floorboards little by little from the edge. Surprisingly, it could be opened!
